King For A Night in Nha Trang - Bao Dai Villas

Bao Dai's Villas is a dream hotel for a special holiday. Located on top of five hills with great ocean views, the villas are surrounded by green plants and peace and quiet. The price is a bit expensive for the average back packer but it's reasonable for the middle rank, ranging only from $25 for the standard up to $80 for the deluxe. Bao Dai's villas are one of the few remaining examples of French colonial architecture in Viet Nam and were built in the 1920s as a holiday resort for the last Vietnamese King Bao Dai and Queen Nam Phuong.

There are two restaurants in this hotel, one on the beach and the other on the second hill which is right next to the Queen's villa. Super massages and other services are available on the private beach which cost you nothing.
